New night sights came in and I installed them last night. These are my favorite and I’ve tried a few. Trijicon HD orange from with blacked out rear, U shape.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

Here is a quick AAR with the new G43X.

Took the pistol out yesterday to test and evaluate the performance of the pistol with my intended carry cartridge as well as some ball ammo. I ran roughly 150 rounds of 124gr WWB FMJ with no malfunctions whatsoever. So, I loaded up the mags with 124gr Federal HST that I currently run in all my edc and sd firearms. 100rds fires with no problems. The gun ran flawlessly as expected. I would of liked to run 100rds more of the hollow points but, it was hot and I had a problem with the front sight. I noticed about half way through the testing that my front sight came extremely loose and I had to remove it. This was user error as I forgot to put lock-tite on the screw when I installed it (dumbass). This was taken care of as soon as I got home. I did get to forcefully practice point shooting so, that was ok with me.

The handling of this pistol is great compared to any other Glock I have fired. This is due to the fact that it’s a single stack and the grip is thinner both on the width and front to back sides. Although, it’s a little snappy with 124gr pills.....it’s still very controllable and gets back on target fairly effortless. I will say I had to failures with the slide locking back on the last round fired. This was caused by my strong side thumb resting on the slide lock. The slide lock is fairly minimal and low profile but, it is still easy to accidentally stop it from locking back if you rest your thumb on it while shooting. Once I adjusted my thumb position I had no more slide lock errors.

The Shield Arms (15 round) mags performed flawlessly. These things are the bees knees! A bit speedy at $40 a piece but, worth it for the ability to carry 15+1 in a single stack carry pistol. Two thumbs up on these.

Didn’t take any pics this time as I was focusing on the functionality of the pistol and mags.
